\u201cThis wasn\u2019t a decision they took lightly but realised they were better off friends than a committed relationship,\u201d the source said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAriana is feeling really happy and focused on the next chapter with her Eternal Sunshine tour and the upcoming release of her album Petal.\u201d<\/p>\n
